Well, you weren't wrong. Fits like a two man tent.
The material feels good and i think the gi looks good too.
I recon if it shrinks like Meerkatsu mantioned, it will be a fairly good fit for me lengthways. But accross the chest and around the body its massive and you could fit three pairs of my legs in the trousers.

Franken-gi

Sounds like you need to cut up two different gi's to and get a tailor to stitch them together to make up a sort of 'Franken-gi' to fit your frame

Thanks dude, but i recon anyone who actually fits this thing would look more like frankenstiens monster than i do. I wear a large in a shirt and 33/34 jeans. I dont need to have frakenstiens tailor for regular clothes! Off the rack suits fit me really well. So, why are Gi's cut so differently? I recon if a manufacturer tried actually measuring real life bjj folk in the uk rather than basing their sizes on fat american wrestlers, or stubby wee japanese dudes, they would make a killing. I realise I am not in the average build bracket, but i just dont beleive that the Gi's represent that bracket either. Grip over... im just pissed at the effort i have to go to to get a gi that fits, its a pain in ther arse.
